The Verge reports on an announcement by Alphabet subsidiary Google that, beginning in January, it will change the way Web sites are ranked in results from its search engine. Sites featuring pop-up windows or interstitial adverts may appear lower in the results than they now do.

According to an Alphabet press release, 90% of Google's revenues during the first quarter of 2016 came from advertising.

    ^- this basically.

    I've used DDG in the past but ultimately went back to Google because several times I simply couldn't find what I wanted in a DDG search.

    Why not use more than one then? I use DDG all the time, and only resort to ggl if I really, really need to. And their searches have been improving over time. I know at the beginning I didn't use them much because of how much better google was, but now I only rarely have to go there. Besides, DDG has so many other awesome features, and getting more all the time.
